Andy had a pretty bad injury. Worse than most know. Think that had a say in it 

Didn't realise Andy's injury was that bad? Any news on his recovery?

That’s unfortunate. I thought Ben would be the most likely to make that choice tbh. 

You thought right. Ben Woodhull & Bickley included. Neither surprise signings with Bickley nailed on. Hope the Woodhull's can keep up with so many hobbies on the go.

He's still recovering but it's going well.  He' getting married this year so think he wants to concentrate on that also

Kyle is very level headed and ambitious.

His CMA for last year was just over 8 which is very good for his first year and even more impressive as he did this when he was 15 !!!

So on average he came 2nd in every race,......

I am sure Ben will develop well during 2018 at the NSS

It was great last year watching the young riders develop ...long may it continue

Plus he was riding at 2 so he was programmed to share a lot of rides with the best rider in the National League last year. Looks so natural on the bike for such a young lad and riding at Workington will only help him. He'll be absolutely smashing it for the Colts this year.

Kyle finished on 6.67. 

Still very impressive. 

The 6.67 is the average regards team building for this season and can be seen on the green sheet averages on the BSPA site

The CMA includes bonus points and gives a far better indication of how well he rode.

Basically it gives his score out of 12 including bonus points .

Considering Kyle looked clearly like the one who may have been the best last season. He disappointed slightly on expectation in the end with Brennan and Jenkins proving far more impressive in the end.

From what I saw, especially towards the end of the season, Bickley was the best of that trio, with Brennan a little way behind, and Jenkins slightly disappointing.

Not a lover of Bonus Points other than for teamwork and payment.   All 3 had a substantial advantage at home and nothing much between them over the season.  This year it looks as though they will all be at No 3 so a good guide to their respective abilities but it will be tougher for all 3 to actually win races.

Just pleased that we have these youngsters to give us promise for Team GB in the future.

How can you say brennan wasn’t the best rider? His average was highest of the 3 and his no average was 7.96. 

 

As well as this he rode at 7, 1,2,3,4& 5 where as Bickley and Jenkins didn’t go to number 1. Facts speak for themselves, brennan is the better rider without a doubt

Disagree totally.    Bickley was flying at the end of the season.   If you take them head to head in the play-off final, Bickley averaged 9.20  and Brennan 6.00.  

Much as I hate to get into an argument that is a real politicians manipulation of statistics. 

As Bickley was riding against the weaker losing team he should get more than Brennan against the much stronger winners.  To be more precise the main difference was Bickley got 14 at B Vue aided by retirements from Bewlay and Bailey  whilst Brennan got 6 having to take six rides including heat 15 against Bewlay and Smith.

 Not a level playing field but as I said, this year the averages  should give a real comparison.
